Selling

Net sale proceeds calculator

What you may take home after the mortgage and selling fees.

  • What it means

    This estimates what you might actually take home after selling: sale price minus mortgage, agent fees and other selling costs.

  • Why it matters

    Headline sale price is not cash in your account. Fees and the outstanding mortgage can shrink it a lot.

  • When to use it

    Use it when pricing a sale, deciding whether to move, or working out the deposit you could take to the next purchase.

  • How to read the result

    Focus on net proceeds, not the asking price. Add your own capital gains tax estimate if it applies; this tool does not calculate tax for you.

FAQs

Does this calculate Capital Gains Tax for me?

No. You can optionally enter your own CGT estimate. It is not tax advice.
